I am an experienced and approachable Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with over 20 years’ experience in psychiatry, including 18 years specializing in working with children and adolescents.

I graduated as a medical doctor at the University of Manchester, UK in 2002 and completed my higher specialist training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 2010.
